Why are our House and Senate representatives getting an automatic raise when so many are losing their jobs just before the holidays? How many Congressional and senate people use federal aircraft for personal reasons? Isnt Air Force One the ultimate ripoff

For the same reason that the Wall Street execs (remember, these were the same folks that caused the crash in the first place) are now getting millions in bonuses from the hand out they got from their little friend in the White House

SFB question. under the constitution no sitting congress may raise it's salary, such raises must be voted in, in a previous session. When this vote was taken we were still on the top of the bubble. BTW SFB means Shit For Brains

Some members of Congress saw this collapse comming over a year before it hit. But the irresponsible buffons in Congress namely Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd et. al., fought the regulations, the White House fought them also. So, the same people that put us in this fix, the same leadership are the same ones that voted themselves a raise. This whole thing is crooked. It is so rife with conflict of intrest and palm greasing; it's enough to make one vomit. Just over 200 years ago people took up arms against their government because they were being taken advantage of by that government - I'm not suggesting that we do the same, rather I'm pointing out how far it can go.
